Eggless Lemon Coconut Bread

For this month's Baking eggless group ,the recipe given was Lemon coconut bread .I have not tried any lemon flavoured cake in my baking and decided to make a small loaf cake.The flavour is quite interesting with the lemon and coconut combination.I have used condensed milk as egg replacer here and the cake turned out soft and moist.

Ingredients:

All purpose flour

¾ cup+ 1 tblsp

Sweetened condensed milk

½ tin

Butter

50 gms

Powdered sugar

2 tblsp

Baking powder

1 tsp

Salt

A pinch

Lemon juice

Lemon zest

½ tblsp

2 tblsp

Milk

Vanilla essence

½ tsp

Dessicated coconut and almond flakes

As needed

For the filling

Cream cheese

40 gms

Dessicated coconut

Powdered sugar

4 tblsp

For the glaze

Powdered sugar

¼ cup

Method:

Mix all the ingredients given for the filling and keep aside.

Preheat oven to 170 °C.

Sift Flour,baking powder,baking soda and salt.

Take a mixing bowl and add the condensed milk,melted butter.Mix well with a whisk.

Take a greased loaf pan .Pour half of the batter.Spread the prepared cream cheese filling evenly and pour the remaining batter on top of it.Sprinkle some dessicated coconut and almond flakes on top and bake at 170 °C for 30-40 mins till the top turns golden in colour and a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.

Allow to cool for 10 mins.Slowly take the loaf out of the pan.

For the glaze,mix powdered sugar with little milk/water and pour on top of the cooled cake.

Slice and serve.

Note:

The original recipe uses sweetened coconut flakes.I have substituted it with dessicated coconut here.I also used almond flakes for topping.
